Midnight Rogues is now available on Steam. We can't believe we're launching our first game on Steam.

For the four of us at Aduran Studio, this is a moment we’ve been working toward for a long time: releasing our first commercial game and seeing people play it.

A few months ago, we made a small prototype called Thirty Again in 96 hours for GMTK Game Jam 2026. It was built around a simple idea: arrange items into a sequence, then watch a timer activate them in order.

The prototype ranked #18 in Enjoyment and #38 in Creativity. Seeing players experiment with it and enjoy the combinations they discovered encouraged us to keep going.

That four-day prototype grew into Midnight Rogues.

Build the sequence that fights for you

Midnight Rogues is a comic-book-style roguelike auto-battler where you buy weapons and items, arrange them across your board, and take on The City’s corrupted superheroes.

Combat plays out automatically, but what happens depends on the decisions you make beforehand. Move an item, change the activation order, or send the timer backwards, and the same collection of cards can work very differently.

The full game includes:

  • 3 playable characters
  • 190 cards and 35 relics
  • 4 acts
  • 10 difficulty modifiers

For those returning from the Next Fest demo, version 1.0 also brings post-combat breakdowns, selectable combat speeds, new items and character interactions, more boss passive variants, Steam achievements, and improvements to sound, visuals, and balance. There’s a new late-game encounter to discover, too.

Thank you for helping us get here

Whether you played Thirty Again during the jam, tried the demo, reported a bug, streamed a run, or shared the game with a friend, you’ve been part of this.

It means a lot that you’ve given our first game your time. We hope you enjoy experimenting with it, and we’re looking forward to seeing the builds you come up with.
